Title: Newbie and Epic 1.5
Post by: Farwyn on May 31, 2011, 12:09:14 am
I just managed to get my toons (RNG/PAL/CLR) to level 70 and started my epic 1.5.  I got pages 1 and 2 without help.  However, I just keep wiping (usually at the bridges) when trying any of the other pages.  Is it possible to proceed with this group and some henchmen (if so, which ones), or do I just not have a large enough group?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The wizard henchman is fairly decent dps.  The monk works too if you're running into issues with the wizards rooting everything.

It's not easy going with just 3 toons, but if you're careful and try to pull small groups with ranged attacks you can probably do it.  You just need to move fast enough to avoid the respawn.

You don't have to cross over the bridges.  I found that pulling from range across the river and then swimming was a better way to go in some cases.  It does take some time to figure out where you can pull safely though.  You can also use the dread gaze spell on your pally to keep aggro on all the mobs to leave the ranger and cleric free to do what they need to do.

You can also cast a heal over time on the pally (via cleric) before you pull so that the cleric doesn't have to draw aggro immediately after a pull, giving the pally some time to establish aggro.  Also wait a couple seconds before attacking on ranger for the same reason.  Hard to manage heals when you are boxing if the aggro keeps switching focus.

Thanks for the suggestions!  I was getting pretty frustrated asking the Buff Bot for a date every 15 minutes or so!  ;)

also keep in mind that buffs from casters or fighters guild are much better then the ones in nexus. But then offcourse you need to be guilded in those.

Dread Gaze is a very fast casting AOE taunt that generates 250k hate.  No need to worry about the healer or ranger pulling aggro once you've cast that.
